        <p>Angling as a sport has been practiced since times immemorial and was the subject of Ernst Hemingway's famous work  The Old Man And The Sea". Himachal Pradesh has been bestowed with abundant rivers and streams which provide the perfect habitat for two divergent species of world renowned sporting capabilities viz Mahaseer and Trout. Jerry’s Jungle Huts lie in the heart of kangra valley which is the domain of the Mahaseer (Tor:futi tora generic name) and the brown Trout fishing grounds.</p>
        <p>The Mahaseer is considered a better sporting fish than the Salmon and many Royals have fought and lost many battles with this great sporting species of fish. The Mahaseer season is at its peak in the reservoirs, rivers and streams during the months of February till June end, and September and October. Many a great catches have been taken and verified by the Anglers who visit and stay in the valley notably by the frequenting German Angler Christian Eirich and Mr Atul Bimbhat who landed a 32 kg Mahaseer in 2008 besides a five and a half kg brown Trout! </p>
        <p>Jerry’s Jungle Huts has the privilege of being associated with the Himachal Angling Association and some well known Anglers and Angling guides. We would be looking forward to organize a customized fishing trip for you as per your specific requirements!</p>
        @*<p>Himachal Pradesh is also an angler’s paradise. It has some of the finest trout streams in the north.  Angling rules are liberal and the fee nominal. Angler is permitted to catch six trout a day on each license. Trout fishing season lasts from 1st November to 28th February each year. </p>
        <p>Angling has fast become a source of recreation to innumerable naturists from all across the globe. In many countries, fishing as a sport is being increasingly recognized and more and more people are attracted to try their skill for this outdoor hobby. </p>
        <p>Angling became a favourite pursuit of the British during ninetieth century and it was mainly for this reason that exotic species viz. brown and rainbow trouts were transplanted in Indian rivers and streams. </p>
        <p>You can enjoy excellent fishing with the possibility of catching mahseer (Tor putitora) and the exotic trout (Salmo trutta fario and Salmo gairdnerii). Kangra has been known as the home of the proverbial mighty mahseer to which effect a fairly large account of evidence is available from the vivid accounts of various anglers interested in heavy fish. The river Beas and the Pong Dam reservoir provide attractive fish grounds to the anglers. Besides mahseer, the other fish available is malhi, soal, bachwa, god shingara and others.</p>*@
